To prevent a catastrophic water main leak in your home – or anywhere along the intake line – first locate the water main shut-off valve. The primary shut-off is usually located in a covered (and frequently locked) access panel next to your water meter. Sometimes forward-thinking home builders create another shut off valve that is more accessible for the home owner. Depending upon their original composition, water mains can rust through or they can be crushed or even damaged by heavy equipment. Always, when this happens, the first step is to turn off the water upstream from the break.
